Our Heartfelt Condolences to the Family of Gary Vyse, CEO of The Williamson Trust

Our Trust and staff are deeply saddened by the loss of Gary Vyse, CEO of The Williamson Trust, who was a man of passion and drive, and a hugely influential leader.

Stuart Gardner, CEO of Thinking Schools Academy Trust, said:

“Gary was a superb education leader and his contribution to raising the aspirations and achievements of young people cannot be overstated. He had a drive that led to school improvement and always had the best interests of his students at heart.

“He was also a friend and a former colleague of myself and so many of the staff across Thinking Schools Academy Trust. I speak on behalf of us all when I say he will be hugely missed, and we offer our heartfelt condolences to his family.”
